Activation of the fatty acid (converting it to fatty acyl-scoa) requires the expenditure of 2 atps. use your answers from parts b and c to calculate the total number of atps generated from the metabolism of a saturated fatty acid with 14 carbon atoms including both the citric acid cycle and the ? -oxidation pathway as well as the initial atp required to produce the acyl-scoa molecule that starts the process. answer from b: what is the total number of atps generated from 7 acetyl-scoa molecules? = 70 atpanswer from c: assume that 2.5 atps are generated per nadh and 1.5 atps per fadh2. how many atps are generated from the fadh2 and nadh molecules from each repetition of the ? -oxidation pathway? = 4 atp
